A British Columbia man was airlifted to a Calgary hospital Thursday after fending off a grizzly bear attack on a mountainside in the Rocky Mountains near the B.C.-Alberta border, according to RCMP.
Police said a father and son were tracking a bear west of Highway 43 south of Elkford, B.C., when the 36-year-old son was “attacked suddenly by an adult grizzly bear” around 3 p.m. PT.
“The man was able to defend himself with his firearm and the bear ran off,” while his father called for help, Elk Valley RCMP said in a news release Friday morning.
The man, who police said lives in nearby Sparwood, B.C., suffered several injuries, including broken bones and cuts and scrapes on his body, the release said.
“Oh how the turns have tabled” - the bear
How the turn tables.
Fuck, I had one job.
Haha no worries. I wasn’t sure what I said was the quote either. Michael Scott?
It’s okay. That phrase always irks me. There is a small number of us who are okay with you writing it properly.
While doing bird surveys, I saw a hollow in a tree that looked like it could be a bear den. I went to check it out and there was a bear in it.
While doing ground squirrel surveys I was in a rocky area looking for rattlesnakes, I almost stepped on one.
Be careful what you wish for I guess.
